For the name itself, Gipetto has a long history. It goes back to a conversation I had with a famous fashion designer in New York. From then on, I made Gipetto my own lingo.
I will take you to a fun filled journey about my world in New York. I believe in the 5F's of life: fierce, fabulosity, flawless, forever young, and ferociousness.
So join me in my quest to chic triumph.
You will love it.

The founder and creator of the MADE in BRAZIL website has been my best friend since college at FIT (Fashion Institute Technology of New York). We have known each other for 10 years. Both us our dreamers. He and I are successful with our own careers.

Last week, I received the first issue of his magazine. To my surprise, Brazilian supermodel Evandro graced the cover. Jules told me that he will not do the issue, unless Evandro poses for him for the magazine. To make the spreads even better, he did a collaboration with famed photographer Cristiano Madureira to make it happen. The end result... TASTEFUL.

Mark Walsh and Leslie Chin know how to make spectacular jewelry. For the movie Sex and the City 2, Sarah Jessica Parker wore a one-of-a-kind DUNE cuff that they made for RODARTE. Patricia Fields knows her taste with statement pieces. This cuff was the perfect accessory for the Pucci dress she wore to see Aidan.

The cuff is made out of Iridized Amythest and hand hammered copper. You can buy this amazing piece at www.vintageluxury.com.

I was invited by my client Tinsley to come see the 2nd night of Sex and the City 2 premiere. It was all the people from the fashion industry. We could not get out of our seats to go to the bathroom cause of Marcus and Nigel. The movie was great, but it was too long. The after party was at Bergdorf Goodman. The setting at the department store transported us to Morocco.

My client, TM, will wear this amazing couture dress from Atelier Versace. I never dressed her in white. The ensemble is so special that it made me faint at the boutique. She will look stunning in this dress. I believe that her girly look with an edge has to come back.

As a man, I always carry a clutch in the evening. I have so many things that I need to bring: blackberry, keys, cigarettes, mints, credit cards, and more. For my clients, I love borrowing SANGA clutches, especially in the exotic skins.

I am so excited that I am getting my new shoes from Pierre Hardy this coming June. My family is in Hong Kong right now. My mother does not like to shop there because New York has more selection. Well! I found my Pierre Hardy boat shoes in Lane Crawford... thanks to April and Nina.

Kimberly McDonald is the hottest jewelry designer in town. She knows how to mix her stones by combining all the raw materials from earth. Diamonds and raw quartz make a good marriage to beautiful organic jewelry. I am blown away. Every piece is one of a kind.

I am glad that my client felt sexy when she wore this Versace pink dress to Operation Smile. She felt sexy and at the same time feminine. I am sure the people from Versace will be happy. To make the dress more fun, I told her to wear white gladiator shoes from Jimmy Choo. It was a bold step for her.

My client and I have a good relationship together. She will be a big star. I always tease her that the time she comes up for an award... "And the Emmy goes to".
